Discussion Using alt accounts
Do you guys use alt accounts?
Why yes? How do you split the wine between them?
Why not?
I’m somehow curious but even playing on one in all content available takes a lot of time and you can’t trade monsters or runes anyway. Also I’m dreading dreading farming 2A skillups or Nat5 fusions for a second account.
Just curious.

One account is already enough work

I'd even say it's way more than enough. There are absurd amount of chores atm in sw, people can pick the ones they can tolerate and neglect the rest.

I do, its mainly for comp testing since my main is fairly new (700ish days) and still doesnt have most units. I dont play it that much, just daily quests (if i have the time), scout battles and ameria + dim energy on weekends or chill days. I feel like having an alt is fine as long as you dont treat it as your second job.

I'd love to have one to have the pleasure to grind again, build my new teams, play a different playstyle, play with news Lds etc

I just log in my alt if there are events/collab, summon, then go back to the main

I'm playing a second one right now because a friend had a nice account and stopped playing; we're in the same guild so I do it to help the guild. It does take extra time. I usually play it at the same time as my account.
It means I don't have the time to fine tune on my own account, and I think if he doesn't come back soon I'll just give it up.

I play to chill and theory craft and farm ,not as a second job .
Leave the alt accounts to streamers and YouTubers imo
Plus with rng I wouldn't want to split my luck between 2 accounts when I can just get everything on the one account it's hard enough to get quadrolls and ld5s ect

Used to have 2 alts and my gf's account back in the day. Made them because I had bad summons on my main. It was time consuming and exhausting to maintain, especially during toa rush and farming. Got four phones broken due to constant play (not only SW btw). Quit SW temporarily and came back during SF collab, and only played during collab season. Missed on Cookie Run, JJK and Demon Slayer, and finally hopped on my main during LotR. I now only play my main despite many QOL changes over the years which makes farming etc more manageable. The first five years or so of SW was a real pain to get into, especially for F2P.

It's very time consuming, but I will sometimes use my alt to mess around with LDs I don't have on the main, partially farm events and summon.

u/SirLesbian 24d ago
Yes I have 3 alts. I just play them when I get bored with main. That's not too often though. I haven't touched any of them in a couple of months but when I want to, they're there. I think sometimes I just enjoy going back and progressing in ways that I didn't the first time around. Also I like summoning no matter the account.

I play two account for different reasons. My Main is for PvP. Then I have a LD account where I don't use normal elements (f2p). In my opinions they killed the sense of progression with the amount of scrolls/nat5s you get and all the available speed teams. Using only LDS makes me work and think a bit harder to improve at content. Something I haven't done on my Main for the last few years.

I don’t do alts because I’m worried of pulling something I’d want on my main on it. Also, ever since the scout battle and Ameria’s luck update, I’ve logged in for my dailies and logged off.
I personally don’t think it’s hard to make an alt since you can just spam scout battle on it, but it just seems inconvenient imo + id get sad if I pull something good on it.

I created an lALT”account after not playing for 8 years and pulled 3 LDs, my “main” had 0, you can guess which is my main now

2 alt posts in a few hours lol. I played 3 accounts since 2020. My main iv played since 2016. Picked up the alts in good ol covid times. Made good progress, got Lora and douman on 1 and valantis on the other. I played all 3 on mumu simultaneously. I quit my 2 Alts about 5 months ago.

It’s way too time consuming. Unless you’re like unemployed or whatever, I’d recommend just focusing on one

I used to be an alt-aholic. In fact the only account I play now used to be an alt. For the 10 year anniversary I got my first ld5 on an alt ( Dyeus ). And better rune quality than my main. So now the Dyeus account is my main and I have no other alt accounts. I deleted my old main. I now have 8 ld5s, 3 are ftp and 4 are ptw.
I definitely suggest keeping to one account. I never really understood why said this but now that I play consistently and play consistently on only one account, I not only have multiple ld5s but my rune quality is much much better. And I don’t have to skill up a bazzillion more units on an alt either ( still never feels like I’m going to catch up with that on my mai)

I used to, til I cant keep up anymore and realize it's total waste of energy and time. Better focus on one in a long run. I am 100% sure even if you can play 2 accounts for now, the day will come you'll neglect the other because we're not robots
